Quote Scarlet Pimpernell="Scarlet Pimpernell"When you make an offer that any player can leave then that's what will happen even if they may not be one you were thinking of or hoping for. It is sometimes better to refrain from commenting after a coach leaves and let his replacement make the decisions.
We are now entering the important part of the season with three centres (4 if you count Ryan) two wingers and two full backs. That is not a lot of cover which makes the recent decision even more stupid.
I know our rose tinted brigade will not see a problem and will consider it a positive but I am afraid the only good part is that we will help our accounts by saving on salaries. We might end up relegated but we will at least have a slightly bigger bank balance.'"
Even worse in my opinion because we haven't got a centre or a full back on the books who is SL standard.
Collis may have had his faults but he was the only threequarter we had with any 'class'. Lyne has, as yet, unfulfilled potential though probably not at centre) and frankly I haven't yet seen enough from Arundel to convince me one way of the other. As for full back - we haven't got one! (not counting Jowitt who seemingly is not yet ready to step up).
